+## Steps for updating an existing font
+
+### 1. Update original (unpatched) version
+* Copy and replace the existing unpatched version of the font and any readme and/or license files in the `src/unpatched-fonts/XYZ-font` directory
+  * e.g. Updating *XYZ Font*, update files in directory `src/unpatched-fonts/xyz/{PUT FONT FILES HERE}`
+  * Make sure to update the correct subfolders for each font style (e.g. `src/unpatched-fonts/xyz/bold/{BOLD FONT FILES HERE}`)
+### 2. Execute basic testing
+* Do a basic test with the new font to ensure it patches correctly and generates a new font file, e.g.
+  * `./font-patcher src/unpatched-fonts/XYZ/XYZ.ttf --complete`
+  * Make sure to then delete this new font file if it is in the repository (all patched fonts should be generated in the `patched-fonts` directory)
+### 3. Run build scripts
+* When fairly satisfied the font patches correctly, run the following scripts in this order:
+  * Copy all the unpatched readmes to the patched location with additional info on variations appended:
+    * `./standardize-and-complete-readmes.sh`
+  * Patch **all** of the variations/options, e.g.
+    * `./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh XYZ`
